Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 10, 1918.

Application filed July 13, 1918. Serial No. 244,760.

To all whom it may concern:

'Be it known that I, JAMEs B. LAKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Phelps City, in the county of Atchison and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the followingis a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in stoves and it is an object of the invention to provide a stove having novel and improved means whereby an effectivecirculation of air is created within the casing of the stove to distribute the heat therearound in a manner to materially'in'crease the heat radiation. f

It is also an object of the invention to provide a 'stove' comprisingtacasing and a heater arranged therein and clos'edat its upper end together withmea-ns forcausing a draft to passv through the heater andyto travel therearound before, escaping through the the so that the heating efliciency. of the stove is materially increased' The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination 'and' arrangement of the several parts of my improved stove whereby certaiirlmportant advantages are attained and the: device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth,

The novel features of my invention will hereinafter be definitely clainiedl. I 'j I In order that my invention may be the better understood Iwill now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is'a vertical sectional view taken through a stove constructed in'accordance with an embodimentof myinvention, s

Fig. 2 is also avertical sectional view taken through my improved stoveas herein disclosed, but at right'angles 'to the line of section in Fig. 1; 7 i Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken substantially onthe line 3-3 ofFigl'l; and if Fig. 4 is "a sectional viewtaken substantially on'the line 44 of Figl 1; f

"As disclosed in the accompanying drawings C denotes a casingof my improved stovewhich is hereindisclosed'as'circular in top" plan and which is provided with 'a flat top 1 affording a cooking surface. 'slde tance below the top 1 of the stove.

of the stove adjacent the bottom 2 thereof 1s provided with an ash door 3 provided with a damper of a conventional type.

Suitably supported within the casing C is a heaterspaced from the casing C and com prising a combustion chamberfire pot and grate, and said heater is closed at its upper end. In vertical ialinement with the ash door 4 is a fuel door 51Whichis' in communication. with the interior ofi the heater P through the medium of: the chute 6 The fuel door 5 is also provided with adamper] of any desired type. 'Diametrically opposed to the fuel door 4, theiheater P is provided with an opening S'communicating with the space within the casing G surrounding the heater Th e space surrounding the heater P is divided In communication with the,,chamber through the top 1 of the casing G is', the flue -F which is adapted to have suitable communication with a chimney or'ythe like; The upper portion of the" partition 9 separating the chambers or compartments A and A is provided with the open'ing'll under control of a damper 12 of a butterfly" type.

' When a fire is being started within the pot P the damper 4 in the door 3 is open and the damper 7 in the door '5 closed. The damper 12 is also open. By this means a substantially direct draft is created lipwardly through the grate G and out through the opening 8 upwardly of thechamber; or compartment A, through the opening:11; to the fiue F. 'After the fire has been properly started, the damper I2 is closedas is also the damper 4: while the damper 7 is open. The

draft then enters into the heater'P through the open damper 7, and the chute 6 and across thefire bed andout through the opening 8 into the chamber or compartment compartment A The draft passes upwardly of the chamber A and over a partition 9 into the chamber or The draft or heated air then passes downwardly of the chamber or compartment A and below the heater P to the chamber A and then passes upwardly of the chamber or compartment A out through the flue F.

This circulation of the heated air results in an effective distribution of the heated air so thatthe entire casing C has effective heat radiation. This circulation of the draft or heated air also prevents aportion of the easing C becoming unduly heated while the remaining portion of the casing C is only partially heated. a j Arranged below the grate G is a compartment T adapted to receive the ash pan. The walls of this compartment are imperforate with the bottom walls spaced from the bottom of the casing C so that the draft may readily pass therebeneath.

' The casing provided with a further door 14 to afford means whereby soot collected upon the bot tom of the casing C may be readily with drawn.

From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that a stove constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out myinvention in practice except as hereinafter claimed. I

I claim:
